AirTrain to Jamaica Station;
AirTrain to Jamaica Station; then Manhattan-bound "E" subway train to "Queens Plaza" station. At Queens Plaza, transfer across the platform to a Manhattan-bound "R" train on the local track. (Make sure you board an "R" train; other trains also stop on the local track.) Take the "R" train to 28th Street/Broadway. Your hotel will be a short walk from there.

I am coming in on a Monday night, JFK Jet Blue @ 8:15 PM. By the time I get my bag it will be 8:30 PM or so. Is Airtrain still runiing to Jamaica at that time?

Jfk to 55th street NY
My daughter will be arriving from Boston on 3rd September and needs to get to 210 W 55th Street New york. What would be the best route to take , she will have luggage and is from the UK so doesn't know her way around. Would it be best to go to Howard Beach or Jamaica?
Take AirTrain to Jamaica,
Take AirTrain to Jamaica, transfer to the E subway to 7th Ave/53rd St, walk two blocks north on 7th Ave to 55th St and turn left. AirTrain/subway fare is $7.25, taxi from JFK direct is $45+tolls+tip and might be more convenient so she doesn't have to schlep luggage.
I would like to know how
I would like to know how long is the commute from JFK to Penn Station on train.
Allow about one hour +/-.
Allow about one hour +/-. The Long Island Rail Road from Jamaica will be a little faster (but more expensive) than the "E" train subway.
is it too far?
hi from rome!
i arrive at terminal 3 on sunday at 15,22 p.m. and my next plane leave at 21.40 from terminal 1.
Can i go to manhattan for a couple of hours?
which is the faster way to go and come back?
thank you!
No, six hours is not enough
No, six hours is not enough time. You will need one hour to clear customs, one hour to travel to Manhattan, one hour back and will need to return to JFK two hours before departure for check-in so that only leaves one hour to spare. If you clear customs quickly your bags are checked and you have boarding passes for the next flight you may earn a little more spare time.
Arriving today DL2050 (Gate
Arriving today DL2050 (Gate 16) at 6:03 and have a connection on DL78 (Terminal 3, Gate 4) to Berlin at 7:10pm.
Is the arriving flight also in Terminal 3, and/or should I have any problem making this connection?
Thanks

Absolutely yes.
